Tank It had always been about the ride. My love for the ride is what fuels me. It’s what drives me. That freedom of the open road in front of you, with not a damn thing holding you back, is what I crave. I don’t need much. Shit, I don’t want much out of life. My bike, my club, my brothers, my money, and occasionally a warm and willing women in my bed is what I need. I liked my life that way. It works for me. I enjoyed the familiarity of it. But slowly things were changing. I can feel that change in the air. It's everywhere. There comes a point in your life where things just change. No matter how much I fight it. No matter how hard I hang on, it's changing. Whether by choice or not. For better or worse it gets turned upside down on its fucking head. The moment I laid eyes on her shit changed forever. Things were on there way to changing, but fuck if she didn't tip that shit right over. She hit me like a blow to the chest, crippling me. Rocking my world. That girl completely blew everything I thought I wanted to shit. She took me on a wild ride and for better or worse she changed everything for me. Lil The loud rumble of pipes fills me with a sense of home. Deep gruff male voices remind me of nights spent sitting at the bar listening to the guys tell me stories. The smell of leather, grease, and smoke brings back memories of hot summer days spent around the compound. The sound of classic rock makes me want to dance. A group of rough and mean men makes me smile. Seeing a beautifully crafted bike makes my heart beat a little faster. A man in leather always makes me hot. The feel of the vibration through my body from a perfectly tuned bike takes me right back to my old life. Some things never change. Sometimes those things are never meant to change. Although much hadn't changed since I left, a few things had. The loss of loved ones, the addition of new ones. With one new addition to life things changed for me forever. My life will never be the same. He changed it all.
Review
WTH.I'm not too snobby on grammar or punctuation errors IF I can get into the book and it doesn't stop the flow of the story.This was just bad. And it's a shame because I do like the story which was the ONLY reason I finished it.I read some of the reviews on this book (after I had finished it) and everyone completely agrees that this book needs a major editing re-haul.I'm just flabbergasted? Because .. I mean... really? Follow vs fallow? That was the one that bugged me most because I admit misspelling is a pet-peeve of mine. Most people should be able to figure out that the red squiggly line underneath your misspelled word means something! But follow. FOLLOW. That's just... IMO such a simple word!There was also a mix up of aesthetics vs ascetics. That, okay, those are big words, but they also mean TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. The ascetics of a shack would mean the shack was practicing some sort of strict spiritual discipline vs. its aesthetics - meaning it wasn't looking very nice because it is a shack after all.Mixing up patients with patience. So she's a horrible doctor who's losing patients all because her man wouldn't do what she wanted him to do at that exact time.And someone please tell me WTF is feining? Or what is chock? How can you chock on something? Or that she shutters around him. Hmm, I'm not sure I would like reading a story about how a woman turns into window treatments whenever she's near a man. Just saying. I shudder in thought of that.And man, I guess this is a PNR/UF book too because there's this one character who's eyes can "wonder" upon someone's body. Mine can only wander.. my BRAIN can wonder in fascination upon someone's body. But not my eyes.It's a book about a heroine who is a professor who does a "shit loud of paperwork". A hero who likes blown things up. Or rather, blowing things up.. but you know, either works unless you're a stickler on things being written correctly or in proper structure.Ohhh boy. I couldn't go TWO whole pages without running into some type of glaring error and I had to rant to everyone and any one nearby >_<
